Europeana R&D Agenda for 2012 (Business Plan, section 2.4)
Foster a network of specialists from GLAM & research institutions
• They can advice on technological topics when needed • Build on earlier projects and workgroups
Develop R&D agenda for Europeana • Identify trends, gaps & key issues in crucial themes, who is working on
them, how Europeana can support them Feed R&D results from the scientific / open source community into
the development of Europeana • E.g. translate relevant R&D results into reuquirements for Europeana
Inform IT-related networks on Europeana-related R&D • e.g. LOD community
Improve and incrementally update EDM

EuropeanaTech Community
EuropeanaTech community launched during the 2011 Europeana Network event in Rotterdam
@maxkaiser
Mission
Role of EuropeanaTech Research and Development community built up around Europeana
Expertise from the Europeana network & active collaboration with stakeholder groups outside the Europeana network (e.g. DPLA)
Facilitate community to meet, innovate and undertake research needed for the future of Europeana & the benefit of the broad cultural heritage and research communities
Gather task forces on specific technical points and foster a Europeana Software Developers Network
@maxkaiser
Tasks of Europeana v2.0 WP7 (Innovation)
1. Developers’ Network and FLOSS Inventory • FLOSS: Free Libre Open Source Software • Created by WP7, enriched by the EuropeanaTECH
community • Focus on tools from/for the cultural heritage domain,
relevant for the Europeana network • Included properties to asses the maturity and applicability
for Europeana related goals
2. Innovative applications for user interaction and UGC Build consensus on technical solutions
@maxkaiser
Tasks of Innovation WP
3. Semantic Web / Linked Data Tools for semantic extraction Social Semantic Web Model refinements for EDM
4. Multilingual Access / Translation Usability of multilingual access Development of user interaction models to guide and
maintain these processes for the Europeana portal and beyond
@maxkaiser
Achievements so far: FLOSS Inventory of FLOSS in the Cultural Heritage Domain First iteration based on existing sources (Hack4Europe,
Europeana ThoughtLab) Publicly available as a working document on the
EuropeanaTech Wiki Edit rights can be obtained by contacting mbrinkerink [at]
beeldengeluid [dot] nl !!! Active collaboration within the EuropeanaTech Network of
Developers is instrumental for improving the quality of this inventory !!!

@maxkaiser
Next Steps FLOSS: Inventory of FLOSS in the Cultural Heritage Domain Active involvement of the EuropeanaTech Network to discuss
and improve the inventory Gap analysis of the FLOSS inventory for Europeana Improvement, refactoring and development of a number of
key applications Emphasis on innovative applications in the area of access
provision, user interaction and User Generated Content
@maxkaiser
Achievements so far: Semantic Web / Linked Data
Market study on technical options for semantic feature extraction Effective and efficient tools for the extraction of concepts and
named entities From digital text, audio resources and video resources Available on EuropeanaTECH Community Wiki Feedback to marlies.olensky(at)ibi.hu-berlin.de
@maxkaiser
Next steps: Semantic Web / Linked Data
Make market study a “living document” on the Europeana
Tech Wiki Model refinements for EDM
• Include EuropeanaTech Network • For example on EDM-FRBRoo-harmonization
Social Semantic Web (task starting September 2012) • Based on decisions what innovative applications for user
interaction and UCG will be developed (from the FLOSS-task) • Use User Generated Content (UGC) for automatically
contextualizing information objects • Enrich the Linked Open Data (LOD) space with named entities
and concepts that can be identified in the UGC
@maxkaiser
Multilingual Access and Translations
User interaction
models
Enhance provider content
multilingually
Collaborative features to
improve translations
Multilingual user-driven
data Automatically enhancing
content multilingually Complement the semantic
enrichment processes Leverage collaborative features
to improve translations & add user-driven data in new languages
Development of user interaction models to support these processes
@maxkaiser
Achievements so far: Multilingual Access / Translation
Analyzed 50 websites from cultural heritage domain • Prevailing interaction patterns
• Search and browsing features
Determined multilingual access features across these sites Aggregated collaborative and user-generated content
features, e.g. • User exhibitions • Story telling
@maxkaiser
Next steps: Multilingual Access / Translation
State-of-the-art report about enhancing machine translation through user-provided data and potential enrichment sources for metadata
Develop a staged model of multilingual metadata enrichment Develop user interaction models which support the
presentation of multilingual content
